In any event it would be useful to know how 'giving' or 'tough' the XTY's suspension set-up is, and I for one am curious so please post your experience.

Got my "new" set of wheels. Ride is actually more comfortable and quieter than the stock Dueler. The "new" tyres absorbs humps and potholes better than the Dueler. I guess this is due to the fact the "new" tyres are 100% road tyres.
Steering remains pretty much the same except that the turning radius seemed wider than before.
Vehicle is also taller by 4cm due to the wrong tyre size.... something i wanted to achieve without having to do a lift
Noticed some rubbing only when making sharp turns. If i made the turns gently, no rubbing occurs. Have notifed the tyre dealer and he will get me a lower profile tyre. Other than that, no major dramas and i'm very happy with the new look
